Pro-labor reps spurn Bush rules By Melissa Seckora - The Hill
A bipartisan House coalition appears to be primed to force the Labor Department to scrap proposed departmental regulations that would require greater reporting and financial disclosure for unions.
The pro-labor coalition, made up of Democrats and like-minded Republicans, could help kill the rule changes when the House takes up the appropriations bill for the Labor, Health and Human Services and Education departments later this week.
“We’re fully expecting at least one Democrat or Republican to offer an amendment to the appropriations bill that says no money can go to implement the LM2 rule,” said one Republican leadership aide.
“By opposing this simple change, members would be positioning themselves as having a double standard — they believe corporate bosses should be accountable for their actions but union bosses should not,” another House GOP aide said.------------------------------------------- posted 7:53 AM :: reference link ::
